COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Coppell Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for light industrial /showroom uses.
DISCUSSION The applicant is proposing to build a 51,360- square -foot office /warehouse
on a 6 4 -acre site fronting South Royal Lane There are 172 parking spaces
required at a ratio of one space per 300 square feet for office use, 358
spaces are proposed, significantly exceeding the parking required. This is
a build -to -suit with CSC (Computer Sciences Corporation) as the tenant.
They are proposing to operate a call center with 200 projected employees
The 358 proposed parking spaces will accommodate this number of
employees with room for growth
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure the landscaping area
calculations are in accordance with the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance The area calculations are correct; however, there are still
some discrepancies between the tree calculations and those shown on the
plant list & plan (122 shown within calculations, 112 on list & plan) On
the plant list, there are 49 Bur Oaks and 35 Cedar Elms, 21 Pond Cypress
and 21 Crape Myrtles proposed. The 21 Crape Myrtles are equivalent to 7
overstory trees. Along Royal Lane there are four 3' berms with 3' high
shrubs in between to screen the parking area. A roundabout with seasonal
flowers is proposed at the main entry of the building to further enhance the
site
The building is L- shaped with a fire lane encircling the building and
connecting with the properties to the east, west and Royal Lane to the
north. The building elevations show a grayish -white and gray color
painted tilt -wall structure Glass with an aqua tint spans each elevation.
"Metallic color prefimshed horizontal ribbed panels" with metal canopies
are proposed at the entries The look of the building will be compatible
with the industrial character of the surrounding structures There are four
6' X 3' sign areas shown. A 60- square -foot maximum monument sign
(similar to those in the area) is shown at the entry off Royal This is
required to be shifted to a minimum distance of 15' from the right -of -way;
a minor change from what is shown.
